This is a story from a long, long time ago and how it relates to my present day state of mind…

Way Back When




I walked out of high school the day I turned sixteen

Couldn’t wait one more day if you know what I mean

I lived outside that window I was wild as the wind that blows

I emptied out my locker and then I hit the road


I still feel like I did back then way down deep inside

The only problem I have now is I am so damn tired

I try to dial it back a bit use a little common sense

Cause I felt I could do anything Way back When


My friends got jobs or dove into the academic pool

And there I was out on the street looking like a fool

So I told a little white lie about the GED

And in a while I had my University degree


I still feel like I did back then way down deep inside

The only problem I have now is I am so damn tired

I try to dial it back a bit use a little common sense

Cause I felt I could do anything Way back When
